Eating while Black on a train? I think that is not what happened here.

Some of these SJWs apparently probably spend more time concerned about what offends rather than address how to fix the issues.

D.C. Author Who Lost Book Deal After Shaming Metro Worker Is Suing For MILLIONS

On the morning of May 10, Washington, D.C.-based author Natasha Tynes tweeted a photo of a Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Authority employee who was eating on the train, something passengers are not allowed to do.

"When you’re on your morning commute & see @wmata employee in UNIFORM eating on the train," Tynes wrote in her now-deleted tweet. “I thought we were not allowed to eat on the train. This is unacceptable. Hope @wmata responds. When I asked the employee about this, her response was, ‘worry about yourself.'"

...
After Tynes sent her tweet, a backlash ensued. People criticized her for putting someone’s livelihood at risk. Author and activist Roxanne Gay wrote: “We all complain on social media but you... don’t identify the person you’re complaining about, in a photo no less, and try to get them fired. What on earth? For eating on the train?"

Tynes, who is Jordanian-American, was also accused of perpetuating racism, since the WMATA worker in the photograph is black – as if what she did would somehow be okay if the worker were white.

The book company pulled because... Black women face a constant barrage of this kind of inappropriate behavior directed toward them and a constant policing of their bodies. We think this is unacceptable and have no desire to be involved with anyone who thinks it’s acceptable to jeopardize a person’s safety and employment in this way.



They basically called her actions racist and pulled the plug on her book.

Being Jordanian-American, she obviously does not understand the double standard under which America operates. Totally her fault.

You can't use the tactics, that the radical liberals use, against them.
